How to grow hydrangea in summer

1. Lighting:

This plant is not particularly light-loving and cannot adapt to strong light, so special attention should be paid in the summer.

Because strong sunlight will cause the flower ball of this plant to fade in color and shorten its flowering period, and this plant must be in a dark environment for at least 10 hours a day, so special attention should be paid to shading in the summer.

The shading range should be about 65%, which can greatly extend the flowering time of this plant.

2. Watering:

This plant has a very high demand for water. In addition, the temperature in summer is relatively high, so water is absorbed faster. The land is also relatively dry in summer, so you should keep watering it frequently in summer. When watering, you should not only water the land, but also the branches and leaves.

3. Fertilization:

Hydrangeas are still in their flowering period in summer, so at this time we must also ensure the amount of fertilizer we apply to ensure that there is enough nutrition to ensure that it blooms.

4. Temperature:

1. Overall: This plant grows faster in the range of 17 to 27 degrees, so an environment that is too cold or too hot is not suitable.

2. Initial stage of cultivation: The temperature in the initial stage of cultivation should be around 6 degrees. At this stage, it is mainly undergoing branch bud differentiation.

3. Early stage of flowering: The required temperature at this time is about 21 degrees. It is well known that increasing the temperature can speed up the flowering process. Therefore, at this stage, the temperature should be raised to speed up the flowering period.

4. During flowering: During flowering, maintain a warm spring-like temperature, roughly around 15 degrees. Because only by maintaining the appropriate temperature can the flowering time be extended. If the temperature is too high, the flowering period will be shortened, and if the temperature is too low, the plant may not survive.
